Mr. Junaid's Grade 5 Class

This week, before spring break, we were working hard to finish our science, social, and math projects. We completed our exploration of circuits, division, and black history month. The students all worked really hard on these projects, and their efforts show! We will be moving onto test prep for division, the history of immigration into Canada, magnetism, and our poetry book project after spring break. Enjoy the break everyone!

  This week, we continued our division anchor charts, the students will be moving into test prep next week, for our test after spring break. In ELA we continued with our smilie and onomatopoeia poems, moving into hyperbole and other styles next week. In science, we are building our circuit devices, and the students are getting creative with their carousels, radios, and robots. Lastly, we have been working on presentation prep for our presentations next week, before we learn about our next social section, which is the history of immigration into Canada. Have a great weekend everyone!  

This week, we continued our exploration of poetry with haikus and smilies. The kids were very creative, and had a lot of fun with them! For social studies, we are wrapping up our black history month projects, and moving on to practicing our presentations for next week. In science, we are keeping up with our dive into circuits, with a new project of creating a device or object that uses circuits. Lastly in math, we explored short and long division, with anchor charts starting next week, and some lessons in test taking for our math unit test coming up at the end of March. Have a great weekend, and see you next week! 

  Happy Friday! This week, we. navigated through a set of circuit stations, where the students got to explore parallel and series circuits. Next week, we will begin our research for our project yet to come! In math, we have continued with division, being quite successful in understandings and fluency. We even started exploring 2 by 4 with long division, despite having only started it a couple weeks ago. In social studies, we wrapped up the projects for black history month, and will practice presentations next week. Lastly, in ELA we kept up with our poetry unit, exploring the color poem this week. We will continue on with alliteration next week. The first picture is of our animal mash up art! We will plan to display these hopefully in time for parent teacher interviews. See you all next week!   -Mr. Junaid.
